MENIFEE, CA – On February 27th Obsession had an event in Oakland California for Monster Jam. We had during the week of the show and there was a major down pour on Friday night led to our second mud show of the year. Jeff and Eric went along with Rick to help him out for this event. The rain had stopped by Saturday morning which allowed them to have a pit party before the show on the grass for all of the fans. During the pit party the track crew worked non stop to try and get as much water off of the track as possible. It was good to see recurring fans at the Oakland stadium, which included one of the local Line-X applicators and their family. Rick decided to take the Obsession truck because he had thrown his back out the weekend before. Obsession is the truck that Jeff is drives and in case Ricks back hurt to badly it would make it easy for Jeff to jump and take Rick’s place. Rick did end up driving for the night, which ended up being a good decision. Rick had not piloted Obsession for almost a year. He found by driving it that there needs to be some improvements made and by not knowing this it hindered his performance in racing. In freestyle the mud took its toll on all of the drivers. Even though it was a slippery muddy mess the die hard fans didn’t mind and were very pleased with the show! The following week Rick and Eric spent countless hours of cleaning the truck for a display they had Sunday. They did a display for a six year boys Birthday Party in Murrieta California. He had the time of his life and Eric and Rick let him help de-tire the truck and he thought that was really cool! We gained another Obsession/Obsessed fan and he said “I will proudly wear your Obsessed to the World Finals”.
